New Patch for Red Faction: Guerrilla

RED FACTION®: GUERRILLA GETS NEW WRECKING CREW MODE,
MATCHMAKING UPDATES AND MORE IN NEW PATCH; DOUBLE XP OFFERED THIS WEEKEND ONLY

THQ Inc. today announced the release of a patch for its
critically acclaimed shooter Red Faction®: Guerrilla. The patch is live now, and
will enhance the game’s extensive multiplayer offerings, delivering a new
Wrecking Crew mode, matchmaking updates and much more. From August 6 through
August 9 Double XP will be offered for Multiplayer.

New Features:

New Wrecking Crew mode: “Challenge Mode” introduces three
rounds of distinct submode/weapon/backpack settings per level. Each
participant plays through all three rounds in an attempt to get the highest
score possible. All wrecking crew modes, including Challenge Mode, can now
be played in single player.

Wrecking Crew Leaderboards: Scores are automatically
uploaded to leaderboards (1 per level) so you can compare how you’re doing
against your friends and the world. Leaderboards are only available for
Challenge Mode.

Weapon and Backpack disabling in Multiplayer: Custom
matches now offer the ability to prevent specific backpacks or weapons from
spawning in a level.

XP multiplier for matchmaking playlists: Double XP
playlists are now possible (and will be used).

Ore Deposits on Minimap: Mining ore that has not been
mined will now show up as purple pulsing dots on the minimap. This will help
players to obtain the “Working the Land” achievement/trophy.

Support for upcoming DLC: Demons of the Badlands, our
first DLC pack, which will be released on August 13th.

Other Fixes:

House Arrest icons now reflect their proper completion
status after the last mission is completed.

Convoy spawning is now fixed after the last mission is
completed (previously, some convoys were prevented from spawning).

Scale of some icons on the full-screen map and minimap
has been fixed

Parties are no longer allowed to matchmake into Anarchy
through the "Any Playlist" selection option

Ties no longer count as losses on the multiplayer
leaderboards
